"This is why you are M...@Slawomir Chmielewski <br />"This is why you are Marxists: you are treating people as groups and not individuals."<br />And that's where you make a stupid assumption.<br />No, that's not Marxist. It's simply a logical and beneficial thing to do. Everyone benefit from the smart and educated people being widely available, not only themselves. Not just because they pay more taxes - that's just a simple way to show you that they would pay for themselves anyway (or die, but in that case you need to be a necromancer to hope that they would ever pay for anything), but because that's exactly the kind of people you can thank for the very ability to write here. You never paid for their education, you are likely living in another country or even continent from them, but you still reap the benefits they produce.<br /><br />"You are creating "classes" of educated and uneducated and then trying to somehow balance them for "fairness"."<br />No. You do. You lock the poor from ever getting any notable education no matter how smart they are - just because they can't pay for it without diving into a huge debt.<br /><br />"Adam and Bob receive the same education, but Adam learns while Bob drinks. After the college Adam lands a great job and Bob doesn't, now he has to pay for both of them."<br />Well, yes, it's a bit of a gamble. Practice shows that if you put enough deterrents into the system to filter Bob from it early enough (and why won't you want to filter that moron out?), Adam would be able to easily and comfortably pay for his own education, for his kids, for Bob, for his kids, and <b>he won't even notice it</b>. In the case of a student loan, you might find your smart and well-educated specialist washing toilets for a living because that good job is not always waiting for him at the end of his education, but the overdue payments for the loan will be there, guaranteed. And longer he has to wash toilets, the less is the chance that he'll ever use his education for anything useful - educations tend to go stale pretty fast if you don't practice what you've learned.<br /><br />To summarize, the free public education is an investment, not a welfare. It's profitable for everyone personally, so no matter if you "treating people as groups and not individuals" or not, it's still a smart thing to do.

Liberal has been redefined by extremists on both sides as demanding that people act in a certain way.

Beyond the humanitarian considerations, I consider efforts to promote diversity as a sensible strategy to make best use of a limited supply of labour.

Brain development is literally the last thing human biology would stop in times of lack of resources, given how it is our ultimately tool for survival).<br />However, studies of correlation of psychological and social environment of children with IQ did actually confirm the existence of this correlation.<br /><br />So either the link of correlation of nutrition with socioeconomic status is not as strong as you claim (does seem unlikely, actually), or there was some considerations (for example, "purity of experiment") that resulted in subjects for the nutrition-IQ correlation observations to be selected on some sort of basis, which in itself implied having similar IQ, thus invalidating the experiment by having its conditions imply its conclusion (whether with conscious knowledge of researchers of not).maximhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576542229498004147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-6071406979318450592017-08-14T03:16:03.424+02:002017-08-14T03:16:03.424+02:00The nutrition correlation hasn't been a causal...The nutrition correlation hasn't been a causal effect for nearly 80 years... since about 1940, actually.<br /><br />Sure, "junk food" is metabolically suspect, and causes obesity, but that isn't slowing down the development of your brain.

I don't question that blacks from proper families have similar IQ as whites in proper families, but the causation is backwards: those with proper IQ can uphold proper families. It's likely that the blacks - just like whites will self-segregate with a middle class of OK IQ people and the ghetto/trailer park underclass of low IQ in a free country.<br /><br />The decisive research would be in a not free country, where everyone is forced to have a job and uphold at least the pretenses of middle class life (no thuggery, no underage pregnancy, no open relationships outside of marriage).Gevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-42024622341285564162017-08-13T06:00:53.678+02:002017-08-13T06:00:53.678+02:00Regarding the race-IQ thing, one needs to properly...Regarding the race-IQ thing, one needs to properly understand the cause-effect chain here.<br />Being black does not lower your IQ in itself. However, a lot of black communities live in suboptimal social and economic conditions, not conductive to proper development of children.

By the way, you are being simplistic about the European left; on the continent, actual big-C Communists and green parties wield an influence much greater than what would be possible in the US. Especially because of how parliamentary coalition politics works.<br /><br />For what it is worth, had I been eligible to vote in the 2016 US presidential election, I would have voted Sanders, then Clinton. If, in October, Hillary and Tim Kaine had been struck by a thunderbolt from a vengeful god at a donors' dinner packed with Goldman Sachs execs and the panicked Democratic Party nominated a large bowl of porridge in their stead, I would have happily voted Porridge for Prez over Trump. The man's a standard-issue tinpot caudillo, the sort any student of Iberian or Latin American history is quite familiar with.<br /><br />Funny thing is, the way cognitive dissonance works, you are much more likely to conclude that I am actually a fat, purple-haired woman (hey, can't prove otherwise on the net without doxxing myself) than admit that a remotely-reasonable man can hold views inimical to your own. To this, I would gently advise you to avoid underestimating your opposition with facile ad hominem. 'Just a fat purple-haired feminist screeching slogans' is essentially a version of 'mad as a box of frogs'.<br /><br />Now, to the confusion over terms: I think the label you are looking for, when you try to separate identity politics people from liberals and classical economic socialists is 'progressives.' In my observation, in modern American political idiom, that's the best you can do.<br /><br />The idea that 'toxic masculinity' made some dude an alcoholic is, of course, your caricature and I do not think anyone believes it explicitly. But it is not unreasonable to imagine that if the dude turned to excess drink from stress, well, maybe if his culture had allowed him to be a bit more emotionally expressive, weep, hug, ask for help without feeling like an unmanly weakling for it, etc., etc. maybe the bottle wouldn't have been the answer. I am not saying that's a proven outcome. I am saying it's a reasonable suggestion.<br /><br />Actually, you are already quite sold on the idea that culture matters a great deal, precisely because you think that Arthasdklol's performance is linked to his values. So, as the man who started the project called The Pug where a ban on things like 'lol megan fox' in chat was meant to result in better raiding stats, don't profess surprise when you see us do the same in society... just not in the way you might agree with or with the same goals in mind (e.g. greater equality). 'Lol megan fox' was a microaggression. You just did not call it that.<br /><br />All this has its roots in postmodern critical theory, (which is what people are vaguely thinking of when they say 'cultural marxism') mostly the Frankfurt School, Foucault and Lacan. Old white men, not a single purple-haired well-hung lady among them. The idea, severely boiled down, is to view everything through the prism of power relationships. Every conversation, every authoritative text, every social convention both shapes and is shaped by the overall hierarchy of power in society.<br /><br />Viewed through this prism, Black Lives Matter makes eminent sense. It is not a first statement, it is a response. The cops' guns, the socioeconomic indices, the actuarial stats all scream 'Black Lives Don't Matter'. 'Black Lives Matter' is a response to that. 'White Lives Matter' is nonsensical, because everyone already knows they do. It's not called into question by social realities in the same way. Denying it is like pretending an open thermodynamic system is in fact closed.<br /><br />No, life isn't fair.

Pay me money and hire me when I'm unqualified.<br /><br />@Anon: because their argument is "NO TRUMP NO KKK NO FASCIST USA!!!" repeated for an hourGevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-37674958780556771632017-08-12T09:55:23.617+02:002017-08-12T09:55:23.617+02:00"and not a purple hair fat feminist with a pe..."and not a purple hair fat feminist with a penis"<br /><br />Why don't you listen to their argument and refute that before dismissing them based on their appearance?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-23292206686349378562017-08-12T06:01:32.336+02:002017-08-12T06:01:32.336+02:00I voted for Bernie in the primaries, for the recor...I voted for Bernie in the primaries, for the record.<br /><br />Perhaps ironically, I do not feel labels will particularly work well given how different our definitions of things are. I would support that alcoholic in your example both because I feel compassion is better in general, and also because we as a society end up paying MORE for his care later, e.g. when he ends up in the ER, assaults someone, etc. Is that Liberal? I dunno.<br /><br />In terms of Affirmative Action, I'm fine with it despite it being imperfect precisely because I feel it is better than the alternative (i.e. nothing). Slavery ended quite some time ago, but the Supreme Court only ruled interracial marriage as legal in 1967 - it was outright illegal in large portions of the country until then. It was not until <b>1995</b> that 50% of Americans <i>approved</i> of it. The Fair Housing Act was 1968, and up until then realtors were completely fine with steering black families away from prosperous white neighborhoods and thereby deny entire generations of future wealth from appreciating assets. Nevermind all the growth that occurred after WWII and the 50's when all of this was legal discrimination.<br /><br />But let's say it's been enough time and racism is dead. Fine. Are there a proportional amount of people doing the same jobs? Are 12-14% of programmers black? If not, why? Unless we posit a genetic source, it must be social/cultural. If not racism, then what? Those are both rhetorical and actual questions. Moving to a strict meritocracy before the issue is "resolved" will simply result in an entrenchment of the status quo and essentially a permanent ruling class whereby the "best" people get the best benefits, their kids get the best schools, and everyone else pounds sand. That doesn't sound very appealing, IMO.<br /><br />P.S. I would never say anything is "your fault" just because you're white (or whatever). However, as a white dude myself, I have never once been called a racial slur, been forced to change my "too ghetto" name to get my CV evaluated fairly, never been sexually assaulted at a party, shamed for dressing "too slutty," or any of a long list of actual things real people in my life have endured. I grew up on welfare and in poverty in a one-parent household, but I still consider my life to have been relative Easy Mode because of my race. Mostly because I never had to be aware of it. Once you see a minority friend get snubbed in a store, followed around by security for no reason, get pulled over twice in one night, etc etc etc, you start to realize how much worse your same life could be if the melanin had came out slightly different.

With no experience there is little way to objectively determine their future output. Also, i am relatively selfish. As a pale white male I have little competitive advantage on the diversity front. If I advocate for diversity and demonstrate its successful application, I now have a competitive advantage.Baelnorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17831690805070527951noreply@blogger.com
